Lightbulb Some are born free, others are born lucky...

The local air force has one. A South African chap flies about in it supposedly training local pilots. From where I see it, with both feet firmly screwed to the ground, it appears to perform a bit like a ww2 Mustang - as the spawny Afrikaaner rolls, loops, pulls tight turns and generally has his wicked way with the thing.

I'm told that he actually gets paid for flying it too. Some people have all the luck I guess. I bet he even has a 12 inch joystick...
